Isn' this Escape from New York, in space?

[Jeff Troiano]

When I saw this trailer, at the point when they say "there's only 1 man who can get her out". I was expecting the answer to be Snake Plissken. Isn't this just Escape from New York/ LA?

That's what it looks like, for sure.

It's been a while since we've seen a "__________ in space" movie. Anyone

I like the trailer. I'll go see it.

Outland was awesome.

"High Noon Underwater" was also done some 20 years later. Epic hilarity staring the one and only Dean Cain.

Gotta love the "let's send in ONE man" strategy! Why do they have Seal TEAMS??? And make sure it's a guy you can't trust, who is a reluctant hero. Make perfect sense!

I see it`s done by the producers of the film`Taken`. Have they got a thing about rescuing women taken in hostage?

Obligatory TV Tropes link, with LOTS of examples!

As all TV Tropes, some examples are better than others. Though I now want to watch Leprechaun In Space again (the most fantastically awful of the lot, I'd say)!

Leprechaun in the Hood was a fine addition to the franchise as well.
